Via Primetime Politics, six minutes of inspiration from Hannity & Colmes with the prophet Gerard. I was blind, but now I see.

I taped this and put it on my website, too. Odd because it satirically paints Obama as the Messiah but by the end you have the creepy feeling he’s the anti-Christ.

Ha, that’s good.

Thanks be to God.

Adding to the Fun! Christiane Amanpour, Nicolas Sarkozy & Barack Obama yesterday! .
Anita on July 26, 2008 at 11:20 AM
(For those offended by the tone and seemingly blasphemous mockery of Christian liturgical language - it’s all in good fun.)

Why does Baker’s employer allow him to make this?
JiangxiDad on July 26, 2008 at 11:23 AM
Bill the priapic! LMAO!!!
sabbott on July 26, 2008 at 11:26 AM
That was pure WIN
doubleplusundead on July 26, 2008 at 11:26 AM
I find myself backing away from the anti-Christ comparisons but startled by the parallels in non-Biblical literature. And so I wonder then wtf is this all about?
And all I can come up with is that it’s an almost impossibly cynical and manipulative leftist political plot. His handlers need to be more careful with their language, and more honest in their dealings to defuse this sort of thinking.
Jaibones on July 26, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Well DONE!

One word: Sweet.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on July 26, 2008 at 11:31 AM
When he loses, will he look at the camera during the concession speech and say, “Uh….for-…uh…forgive them. For, uh…..they not know…..uh….they know not what they….uh…..have done.”
Just words? Just speeches?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on July 26, 2008 at 11:34 AM
This guy is great! He was on John Gibson’s show. He mentioned the drooling media in his country as well as the hypocritical nature of the Europeans since they do not have an elected minority in a high position.
He did say that it was surprising to him that although over 60% of the English want Obama, there is 20% that want McCain which is a high number (In England’s terms) because Obama is not liked.
He did say that the lack of religion in Europe is probably placing Obama as a holy figure! Someone who can bring peace in to the world. Seriously!
Very Crazy. Obama must be the false prophet the bible is talking about.

Mana from Heaven…
catmman on July 26, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Very, very unsettling. If the Daly political machine can perpetrate this marketing scam, then they will have a lasting effect on the course of world events. Obama has no core, but is that a prerequisite for being a leader? Life has we know it may soon cease to exist.
volsense on July 26, 2008 at 11:38 AM
I’ve said it before here….this guy makes me want to withdraw all assets, start cramming my house with staples, dig a well and buy all the guns and ammo I can get my hands on. Simply put, this is scary shit!
dustoffmom on July 26, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Go in peace to love and serve the Obamessiah.
Thanks be to Obamessiah.

Allahu Akbar!!!!!!!!

Can I get a witness???!
CapitalistPig on July 26, 2008 at 12:10 PM
I wouldn’t fell like Obama is anti-Christ Since he’s getting the rock start treatment, maybe he’s more like a real life version of Tommy.
Bigfoot on July 26, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Racist!
Awesome!
dhunter on July 26, 2008 at 12:11 PM
And it came to pass…the great prophet Gerard spake unto thee, “Whence is thy learning New Yorker, hath thy Satire?”
BDU-33 on July 26, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Blessed with good looks?
So Urkel is considered hot now?
AZCoyote on July 26, 2008 at 12:21 PM
Why is it that “Bill the Priapic” is the one line that sticks with me?
ROFL!

A shrewd insight into the Euros’ Obamafever from NRO:

So it is written, so it shall be done.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on July 26, 2008 at 12:38 PM
“And he knew it was the truth, because he saw it on CNN, and BBC, and in the pages of the New York Times…”
That whole thing was just precious.
Knuckledragger on July 26, 2008 at 12:45 PM
There is something downright unsettling about all this.
Terrye on July 26, 2008 at 1:01 PM
I’m with you.
As a kid, my folks had a bomb-shelter put it. ‘Twas a popular backyard accessory in the ’50’s. (In the ’60’s it became it a “pot shelter” where we’d get high just by climbing down into the smoke)
I haven’t thought about that shelter for decades. Now I think about it a lot.
What state you live in? Maybe we can split the difference on a new updated, high-tech, long-life shelter. (He says with his tongue only partially planted in his cheek)

“With only the occasional detour into the old weed and a little blow”? Can Hannity really accuse Obama of doing blow without any evidence? I know the left did it to GWB but they are sub-human.
bigbeas on July 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I thought the same thing!!
Glynn on July 26, 2008 at 2:21 PM
I reminds me of The Omen series.
PattyJ on July 26, 2008 at 2:44 PM
The Left hates having its true feelings so accurately portrayed.
Halley on July 26, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Rod, checked out your link. And immediately went out and bought a lottery ticket! If i win you are on……I’m in western Tn. Spiffy looking shelters…..but mighty hard on the wallet! :)
dustoffmom on July 26, 2008 at 3:44 PM
“Maliki spake to the child”
“The child rode an on ass”
“…the golden Cameron”
…and so much more, every single word of it.
This is, and will be, the platinum production of the interminable election of 2008.
Mr. Gerard Baker, I’ll buy you a bottle of Dom Pérignon champagne when I first see you in person.
Entelechy on July 26, 2008 at 4:16 PM
I’m glad I’m not the only one to make the Anti-Christ comparison,OTOH great satire,one for the ages……Scary as hell!

Bobnormal on July 26, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Good Idea on the lotto ticket. I’ll get a Massachusetts lotto ticket tonight. If we both win, let’s get the Earthcom 70-128 Condo Shelter. Invite all our friends and family for a pleasant underground vacation during the Obama wars.

We need Parodies of this!!!!!!!!!

The Wall Obama wants to tear down is Wall Street.

Heh.

I’m one of those pre-millennialists, Left Behind kind of evangelicals who believes that Christians will be raptured before the Anti-Christ appears, so while I don’t think BHO is the AC, I do believe that we are getting a foretaste of how the AC will operate and be received. For anyone who used to scoff at Revelation’s description of one man who will be able to take over the world, well, this is proof that the world is ready for just such a man.
BHO used to make me wonder, but with his being the Gaffe-master General of presidential cadidates, I don’t worry so much anymore :) The only thing that still creeps me out is that biblical scholars have come to figure out that the AC will be from a Muslim background and here we are. *Twilight Zone music*

Brilliant! When it came to picking a favorite line, I was also really torn between “Bill the Priapic” and the weed- and-blow thing. But I just happened to stop by the flopping aces website and realized I had totally missed the most hysterical reference of all: “light of camel”. If you’re as dense as I am, check out the photo posted by the first commenter for enlightenment.
(I’m too dumb to figure out how to post a link…and too dumb to ditch the habit myself… but I *am* smart enough to recognize satirical genius when I see it. Kudos, Mr. Baker!)
grits on July 26, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Aslan’s girl, love the nick.
The world is getting ready because it is more than willing to believe a lie.
BTW I used to have a personalized license plate that simply read, “Maleldil”. Bonus if you recognize it.
Wanderlust on July 27, 2008 at 1:03 AM
Thanks, Wanderlust :)
Too cool about your license plate. I never finished his Space Trilogy, just couldn’t quite get into it; but googling due to your reference tonight, I just might have to try it again :)

Aslans Girl on July 27, 2008 at 6:52 AM
“prophet Jeremiah”? I’ve dubbed him “the false prophet”. But that would meant the anti-Christ is…
Nevermind! I did not blaspheme the Obamessiah!
ynot4tony2 on July 27, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Hilarious and creepy all at once.
